Ketamina with delivery to Ireland

Will ketamine revolutionise modern psychiatry? Since one form of it was approved for the treatment of depression in 2019, the substance has attracted enormous interest as a drug that could change our approach to understanding mental disorders and how they are treated.

Bita Moghaddam, a leading researcher in neuropharmacology, presents the rich and complex history of ketamine, describing the circumstances of its discovery and the development of research into the various aspects of how it works. She discusses its anaesthetic properties, its effect on receptors and neurotransmitters in the brain, its recreational use, and the mechanisms that may account for its potential in alleviating depressive disorders. In an accessible yet critical way, she describes the past, present and possible future of the use of this substance in medicine.

The book is addressed both to mental health experts and to a broad readership interested in the therapeutic use of ketamine.
